ok. patch added (+ entities etc).

I did the QA. Patch works as expected (at least the patching goes well), but the patch is not really part of the installation instructions, although it fixes a bug. I'd like the patch line as the first line of the installation instructions, not as a seperate box. We do the same for gcc, findutils etc. so why make an exception here?

Okay, this is working fine if you make a symlink /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz to the real keymap (don't cp, it won't work then as it doesn't know where the file's original dir is).
Let's update the book accordingly so we don't need a /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file anymore with a LAYOUT variable, instead in chapter 6 - configuring software have the user create a /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz symlink and the loadkeys bootscript can simply run "loadkeys -d"

Adding dependency to bug 289 because this bug requires a change to be made to the bootscripts, upcoming 1.7 version.

added chapter06/config-keyboard.xml that creates the /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz symlink, and modified loadkeys bootscript
